Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
To test the radio system in a real scenario against C-UAS measures. The testing against government CUAS systems will show prospective military customers (USSOCOM specifically) how the radio technology can avoid current counter systems for use in tactical real world battle field environments. The radio is designed to withstand counter systems and it is expected we will this UAS against those systems to show the capability to maneuver and reach the simulated targets at this location.
